It was a memorable incident that made cake artist Rosely Menotti think seriously about cake: “True! I never had the opportunity to take a picture of my daughter’s stunning cake on her communion as the guests had already eaten half of it before I even had the chance to get my camera. This got me interested in the art of cake making.”

customers. Not just for birthdays or anniversaries, but weddings, too. Rosely has the perfect cake for any occasion. How does she do it? And what makes her cakes so special and yummy? “That’s quite a tricky question as I know that self-praise is no praise at all…. Yet I guess the answer is that it’s because cakes really are my vocation and I put a lot of passion into them. You see, when I decided to take my love for cakes to the next level I did not do so by merely engaging in trial and error baking sessions,
but also by travelling to different countries, attending courses and by thus collecting a lot of insight and knowledge from many cultural backgrounds. If you want, each of my cakes is a fusion of the many inspirations I collected from these encounters.” And Rosely’s customers do not hold back when it comes to giving praise to her work. ‘One of the best cakes in Zurich!’ or ‘Each cake is a small masterpiece’, are just some of the many positive opinions bestowed upon her designs.
BESPOKE (WEDDING) CAKES Giraffes, unicorns, Nemo, the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland or a heart-shaped, multi-tiered wedding cake with natural or edible flowers – Rosely’s cakes are in a class of their own.
